Shibuya Sky Night View, Crossing & Local Vibe Tour
4.7 (166) · from $92.59
Shibuya Sky tickets on GetYourGuide come only inside guided tours, from $72.51 for a two hour pop culture walk to $120.25 for a five hour private day. The most reviewed is the $92.59 night view tour, rated 4.71 from 166 reviews. The roof sits at 228.3 m according to Wikipedia. I’d go at sunset and arrive about 45 minutes before it.

GetYourGuide has no standalone ticket for the rooftop, so the eight listings I compared are all guided walks that include the admission or build the visit into the route. The official Shibuya Sky site sells its own timed tickets, and the sunset slots are the ones that sell out. A tour is the way to get Shibuya Sky tickets with a guaranteed entry time with a person who knows the district, not the cheapest way up. Every price, rating and inclusion comes from the listings, checked in October 2026, in US dollars. Links open GetYourGuide in a new tab, and I earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.
Shibuya Sky is the rooftop observation deck of Shibuya Scramble Square, the tower that opened in November 2019 beside Shibuya Station. Wikidata credits Nikken Sekkei as the architect. The numbers behind these Shibuya Sky tickets are below, each with its source.
The tour is an ideal start if you are in Tokyo for a short time and for the first time.
A few details sit outside the stats grid. The Google Maps address lists the 14th, 45th and 46th floors and the rooftop, and the listings describe the roof as open-air.

| Levels | 14th, 45th and 46th floors plus the rooftop, per Google Maps |
| Open-air or indoor | Open-air rooftop, per the listings |
| Address | 2 Chome-24-12 Shibuya, Tokyo 150-6145, per Google Maps |

| Google Maps rating | 4.6 from 27,432 reviews |
| Time to allow | 45 minutes to 1 hour on the deck; 2 to 5 hours for the whole tour, per the listings |
Hours and weather closures change, so before you buy Shibuya Sky tickets check the official site for the day you plan to go.
If you want your Shibuya Sky tickets as part of a small group, this is the listing I’d start from. The Alva Japan Tours sunset or night walk costs $91.70, is rated 4.87 from 94 reviews and takes two hours. It is a small group, the guide meets you at Hachiko, and the Shibuya Sky stop comes last, so the deck is your finale. Depending on the departure time you cross Shibuya in the afternoon, at dusk or after the neon comes on.
My reasoning is the rating and the timing choice. Among the Shibuya Sky observation deck tickets I compared, nothing else pairs a rating near 5 with ninety reviews and a choice between a sunset and a night departure. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before. It is a tour that includes a skyline experience above Shibuya, so confirm the ticket line in the listing before you pay.

My pick: My pick for a small group: $91.70, 4.87 stars from 94 reviews, a sunset or night departure and the deck as the finale.

Shibuya Sky observatory tickets also come as a private tour, and the Planet Japan listing is the one with the most languages. It costs $94.93, is rated 4.69 from 92 reviews and is guided in English, Japanese, Korean or Spanish. The route starts at the Hachiko statue, takes in the crossing and Center Gai, visits the deck and ends at Shibuya Parco.
The listing says the Shibuya Sky ticket is required or included depending on your plan, so ask which plan you are booking. That caveat is why I rank it below the listings that name the admission outright. Reviewers praise guides who adapt the walk to a group, which is what a private booking should give you.

My pick: The private option in four languages: $94.93, 4.69 stars from 92 reviews, but confirm that the admission ticket is part of your plan.

For Shibuya Sky tickets that are plainly included, the MARKEVISION daytime tour is my choice. It costs $88.23, is rated 4.77 from 72 reviews and lists the admission ticket to Shibuya Sky as included. The itinerary gives the deck a full hour, then 10 minutes at the crossing, 20 on Center Gai and 30 at Miyashita Park.
It is a private group, and the operator pitches the morning: clear air, a quieter roof and, on sunny days, a distant Mount Fuji that is often hidden at night. I wouldn’t promise the mountain, since it depends on the day. Of the Shibuya Sky entry tickets here, this is the cheapest that spells out the admission, so it is my value pick for a daytime visit.

Sunset is the booking people fight for, so I put the most reviewed of the Shibuya Sky tickets here. The MARKEVISION night view tour has 166 reviews at 4.71 for $92.59, more than any other Shibuya Sky ticket I found. It lasts two hours and meets at the Shibuya Station A8 exit. The itinerary gives the roof about 45 minutes for the night view, then the crossing, Center Gai, Don Quijote and Miyashita Park.
Note that this one is a night departure rather than a golden hour one. If sunset is the point, the Alva walk above and the three hour Shinjuku tour below say so more directly. Sunset slots sell out first, so for Shibuya Sky tickets at sunset I’d lock in the date as soon as you know it. The sun goes down at 17:06 in October and 16:29 in December, per the planner further down.

The official site is the first place people look for Shibuya Sky tickets, and for good reason: it sells the plain timed ticket, and the owner of the tower sets the price. The Shibuya Scramble Square page loaded in Japanese when I opened it, so use your browser translation. I can’t quote its prices or booking window, so I won’t. What I can tell you is that a GetYourGuide tour with Shibuya Sky tickets inside is a different product: a guide, a route and a fixed meeting point on top of the entry.
The one I’d pick for people who want nightlife is the Planet Japan evening tour. It costs $119.62, is rated 4.68 from 76 reviews and runs 2.5 hours, with the admission and a guide in English or Spanish included. The route goes from Hachiko to the roof for about an hour, then Shibuya Stream, Center Gai, Spain-zaka and Nonbei Yokocho. It is the dearest of the evening options, and you are paying for the bar-and-alley half.

People search for the escalator because the ride up is part of the show. From the data I can only tell you where it leads: the Google Maps address lists the 14th floor, the 45th and 46th floors and the rooftop. I have no sourced detail on the escalator itself, so I’d rather not describe it.
What I can say is how the longest listing handles the day. The Planet Japan Harajuku and Meiji Shrine tour lasts five hours and includes a private vehicle, a guide and the transport between stops. It costs $120.25 and is rated 4.61 from 25 reviews, the lowest rating of the eight. The route runs from Hachiko to the roof, the crossing and Parco, then on to Cat Street, Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine. One reviewer wrote that the view of Tokyo from Shibuya Sky was wonderful.

The price of Shibuya Sky tickets on GetYourGuide runs from $72.51 to $120.25, which is a $47.74 spread, and the number of hours explains most of it. The cheapest is the Alva Japan pop culture walk. It costs $72.51, is rated a perfect 5 from 12 reviews and lasts two hours, with the roof as the last stop for about an hour. The tiny review count is why I don’t make it my top pick, even though the price is the lowest.
Use the calculator to see what tickets for Shibuya Sky cost your whole group. The same walk costs the same for each person, so the group total is simple multiplication, but the calculator shows it next to the booking link.

The roof of the Shibuya Scramble Square east building stands at 228.3 m, per Wikipedia, and the building is 229.71 m with its spire. Wikidata lists the height as 229 m, and the Alva listings call the deck 229 meters above the city. I use 228 m for the horizon calculator below, because the roof is the highest public point I can source.
The listing that makes the most of that height is the three hour MARKEVISION Tokyo by night tour. It costs $86.07 and is rated 4.87, but from only 14 reviews. It includes a timed Shibuya Sky ticket and a guide, which makes it the clearest of the Shibuya Sky tickets for golden hour, with an hour on the roof timed for the golden hour, then an hour each in Kabukicho and Shinjuku. It is the cheapest of the evening options with a guide, so it suits anyone who wants a long night out.

Google Maps lists the deck as open from 10 AM to 10:30 PM, seven days a week, so Shibuya Sky tickets can be for almost any time of day. That window is long enough to hold a morning visit, a golden hour and a late night view. The official site is where I’d confirm last entry, and also any closure for weather. If you are choosing between times, the planner below gives the sunset for any date.
The photos people want from Shibuya Sky tickets are the sunset glow, the crossing from above and the skyline lit at night. Several listings include photo support, and the Alva walks mention a guide who takes pictures of you. The three hour Shinjuku tour above says its guide knows when and where to shoot as the light goes from gold to blue.
For your own pictures, the clearest months matter more than any trick, so read the next section. On a day of low cloud, I’d skip the long lens and shoot the streets below, where the Scramble Crossing is easy to pick out from the roof.
Cloud cover decides the view, so it matters when you book Shibuya Sky tickets. In the 2025 weather data from Open-Meteo, the clearest months are January at 35% average cloud cover and February at 37%, followed by December at 39%. The cloudiest is May at 87%, then October at 78% and June at 73%. Sunset runs from 16:29 in December to 18:58 in June.

typical cloud cover that week
Sunset and cloud cover for the same dates in 2025 at the deck (Open-Meteo historical weather (ERA5), 2025); sunset moves by about a minute between years.
My rule for tickets to Shibuya Sky is to arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset. That way you spend the wait in daylight, reach the roof for the golden hour and stay for the lights. Winter is the best bet on this data, because the air is clearer and the sunset comes at a civilised 16:30 or 17:00. July has the most sunshine at 10.9 hours a day, though it also has 11 rainy days.
On a clear day the horizon is a long way off. The calculator below is set to the roof height, so you can see how far the view could reach.

The Scramble Crossing is right below at 0.2 km (0.1 miles), and Meiji Jingu’s forest is 2.0 km (1.2 miles) away. Shinjuku Gyoen is 3.0 km (1.9 miles) off, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is 3.5 km (2.2 miles). Tokyo Tower stands 3.9 km (2.4 miles) away, and Shinjuku Golden-Gai is also 3.9 km (2.5 miles). The Godzilla Head is 4.0 km (2.5 miles) away. Sensō-ji is 10.6 km (6.6 miles) off, and Tokyo Skytree is the farthest at 11.4 km (7.1 miles).
Shibuya Sky tickets buy the open-air roof in the middle of the city, so the other decks make a useful contrast. Ratings and review counts are from Google Maps, and distances are straight-line from Shibuya Sky.
| Deck | Google rating | Reviews | Distance | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shibuya Sky | 4.6 | 27,432 | the deck itself | Paid |
| Tokyo Skytree | 4.4 | 120,487 | 11.4 km (7.1 mi) | Paid |
| Tokyo Tower | 4.5 | 101,619 | 3.9 km (2.4 mi) | Paid |
| Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, North Observation Deck | 4.5 | 9,375 | 3.6 km (2.2 mi) | Check locally |
| Roppongi Hills, Tokyo City View | 4.4 | 3,500 | 2.5 km (1.5 mi) | Check locally |
The one I’d add is Tokyo Tower, because from Shibuya Sky you see the tower and from the tower you see Shibuya. If you want the widest outlook, Tokyo Skytree is the big alternative, but it is 11.4 km (7.1 miles) away, so I would give it another day. The Metropolitan Government Building and Roppongi Hills list their own rules, so check them before you plan a second deck.
GetYourGuide does not sell a standalone ticket. The eight listings I compared are guided tours that include entry, from $72.51 for a two hour pop culture walk to $120.25 for a five hour private day. The price of the plain ticket is set by the official site, so check it there before you compare.
Sunset falls between 16:29 in December and 18:58 in June, per Open-Meteo data for 2025. I'd arrive 45 to 60 minutes before it, so you see the city in daylight, in gold and then lit. Sunset slots are the first to sell out, so book early for them.
No. The official site sells timed tickets, and every GetYourGuide listing here that visits the rooftop either includes the admission or tells you to buy it. The cheapest of those listings is $72.51 and includes a guide. For the ticket alone, the official Shibuya Scramble Square page is the place to look.
Sunset and night slots sell out, so I'd book as soon as your dates are fixed. I found no booking window I can quote, so check the official site for how far ahead it releases slots. Every listing on this page offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before, which makes booking early low risk.
It is worth less. In the 2025 Open-Meteo data, May averaged 87% cloud cover and October 78%, while January averaged 35%. On a cloudy afternoon you still get the scale of the city, but not the long views. If the forecast is poor, move your booking to a clearer day, since the listings cancel free up to 24 hours before.
Wikipedia gives the roof of the Shibuya Scramble Square east building as 228.3 m, with a total height of 229.71 m including the spire. Wikidata lists 229 m. The GetYourGuide listings round this to 229 or 230 meters. The rooftop deck sits at about that level, above the 45th and 46th floors.
Google Maps lists Shibuya Sky as open from 10 AM to 10:30 PM every day. The official site is the authority on last entry and on closures for weather or maintenance, so check the page for your date. A sunset booking in winter falls around 16:30, while a June one falls near 19:00.
They are different visits. Google Maps rates Shibuya Sky 4.6 from 27,432 reviews and Tokyo Skytree 4.4 from 120,487, and the two are 11.4 km apart. Shibuya Sky sits beside the Scramble Crossing and has an open-air roof. I'd pick it for a sunset in the middle of the city.
